The first phase of the Coro project was to create a front area where the Coro products could be displayed, making experiments of farming lifestyle. Due to the long-term strategy, the project extension continues, strengthening the Coro ambition to explore more activities, products and agricultural experiments.
The proper distances required for farming, defined a grid system that connects each building from the open space to the enclosed facilities. Structure, skin, services, space plan, and function support each other to define different spaces. Integrated Field used moveable surfaces to create different enclosures, and modular furniture systems for each area. The relationship between every element generates the space’s resilience, encouraging creativity and diversity.
